dispays ....

 Putting together 'new' 8x10 portable displays of tatting, bobbin lace, +beginner pieces.  I try to use what I've finished -- colorful pieces I have on hand.

 Bobbin Lace bookmarks, snake, and candle mat (or photo frame).  

 Beginner pieces of bobbin lace and tatting.  

They fit in plastic notebook size sleeves.   Easy to lay on the table & not worry about interested people 'touching' the pieces.

I don't know if the same people visit lacemaking demonstrations - I figured I'd bring something different for the next demo.

These are the ones I used at the last demo (Farm at Prophetstown):
 
 Demo edges.
Shoal of Fish.  bobbin lace. pinned to the front of the lace pillow.

Teneriffe Lace Needlework Kit(s)


I received an email / newsletter from Karen Bovard-Sayre, about her Needle Lace Arts, Teneriffe Lace kits.   Now I own a kit (or 2) and decided this is the day to look at her video step-by-step, to get the threads on the wooden loom.

 Guess what?  She makes it so east to start -- So I've got my pieces out and have started the foundations.

 The mess before the weaving and knotting begin on the looms .... 

For my tatting artist friends, you may recall she is the Author of many split ring tatting books.   PLUS - shuttles.   PLUS - ETSY.  May want to give the looms a 'go'.

IOLI Dallas: Teneriffe


I bought this kit from NeedleLaceArts.com,

(a.k.a The Shuttle Smith Split Ring Tatting Books.)

Someday, I will have free time
to create this lovely Pansy!!!

The wooden template is light weight and well designed.  Pretty fibers, needles included - looking forward to creating the "Flower 5" kit.
